Seeking educated HIV positive guy
      #13096 - 12/01/00 02:37 PM

Hi! Just moved to New York City and I'm looking to meet other educated gay men with HIV. Anyone know of any support groups or other places. Looking for a relationship -- not sex.

There is certainly an abundance of us, in all varieties of size, age, and even education.
For support groups, try Body Positive, GMHC, and The Lesbian and Gay Community Center. They have support groups and more.
We're out here, be encouraged.

most people won't tell you they are HIV positive. My idea is to just treat everyone as if they are positive, since it's such a well-kept secret. More people are positive then you'd think--especially in New York. And they DO not go to meetings or clubs.They do not want to belong to the reject club. So they play the game like everyone else, go to the same bars and just use protection like everyone else.
So don't close yourself off in positive ghettos. Play the field to find that special someone.

I agree. I didn't find out that my current boyfriend was positive until 3 months into the relationship.

Why hide it? infect more? new

It just a baffles me why people are so closed minded in the Gay Community, about being up front about HIV. It's easy to understand how this shitt got out of control in the first place. So someone may not talk to you if you tell them, so what. If people think the smart thing to do about being HIV positive, is to pretend they don't have it, or hid it, their wrong. For those of you who know who gave you HIV, wouldn't you liked to known about their status, before you were just another number. I no a lot of gay people with HIV, who have this same, act like I don't have it shitt. It just keeps infecting, and killing more people. If you gay, it doesn't mean you have to have AIDS. It's up to the people with HIV to do the right thing, stop infecting more people. The only cure is not to get infected. And if you are do the right thing, let your partners no.
